oldie but a goodie

One day, when a seamstress was sewing while sitting close to a river,

her thimble fell into the river. When she cried out, the Lord appeared

and asked, "My dear child, why are you crying?"

The seamstress replied that her thimble had fallen into the water and

that she needed it to help her husband in making a living for their

family.

The Lord dipped His hand into the water and pulled up a golden thimble

set with pearls. "Is this your thimble?" the Lord asked The seamstress

replied, "No." The Lord again dipped into the river. He held out a

silver thimble ringed with sapphires. "Is this your thimble?" the Lord

asked. Again, the seamstress replied, "No." The Lord reached down again

and came up with a leather thimble. "Is this your thimble?" the Lord

asked. The seamstress replied, "Yes." The Lord was pleased with the

woman's honesty and gave her all three thimbles to keep, and the

seamstress went home happy.

 

Some years later, the seamstress was walking with her husband along the

riverbank, and her husband fell into the river and disappeared under the

water. When she cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked her, "Why

are you crying?" "Oh Lord, my husband has fallen into the river!" The

Lord went down into the water and came up with George Clooney. "Is this

your husband?" the Lord asked. "Yes," cried the seamstress. The Lord was

furious. "You lied! That is an untruth!"

The seamstress replied, "Oh, forgive me, my Lord It is a

misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to George Clooney, you

would have come up with Brad Pitt. Then if I said 'no' to him, you would

have come up with my husband. Had I then said 'yes,' you would have

given me all three. Lord, I'm not in the best of health and I would not

be able to take care of all three husbands, so THAT'S why I said 'yes'

to George Clooney.

And so the Lord let her keep him.

The moral of this story is: Whenever a woman lies, it's for a good and

honorable reason, and in the best interest of others.

That's our story, and we're sticking to it. Signed, All Us Women

ROTFLOL (actually I don't find George Cloony attractive at ALL, but it's still funny)

[mistylady]

Thats okay, I don't think George Clooney is good looking either! I got the joke that way. I'd have to swap him out.

Whats the trade in value on George Clooney anyways? Can I get cash back?
